Chapter Nine : A Sudden Call

It's been five years since I gave birth to Luna and started my job as a low-budget photographer. Janet and Tristan offered to help me after Luna was born, but I refused as they've done more than enough, it was my turn to find my way, hoping to settle down. 

"Sir, there's an emergency at the operation theater, the patient given the anesthesia injection is reacting negatively to the drug", said a nurse who barged into his office.

"What do you mean, what anesthesia? Is it patient 201?, bring me his medical reports now! A tall, handsome doctor said coldly.

"Ye, Yes, Sir", the nurse stammered in fair as she hurriedly left the office.

"Hello doctor, I need to treat my self HIV", A beautiful figure dressed in a red dress and a white hat came in.

"You??? What are you doing here?" Doctor Tristan asked coldly as he sat down and watched his worst nightmare sit before him.

"Hey, I'm a patient too. I deserve to be treated nicely and, of course, do things professionally," Janet said with as smug as she fetched herself an apple from a basket on the table.

"I'd have done that, but no, whenever you come you cause problems. Look," Tristan said, pointing at his door that viewed a large queue of people rambling and pacing around his main entrance, taking sneak and secret pictures of one of the most loved celebrity idols in the world, Janet. A model who shook media platforms, magazines, journals. A facial face beauty that kept men drooling over her, She won countless awards and her name, the number one on the world billboard. She was a role model and an inspiration to countless soul except Tristan.

"Aww my fans are waiting for me, mwuah I love you all," Janet said, giving them a flying kiss gesture.

"This is one of the reasons I locked my office, but because of a lousy nurse it was open, and then some little cockroaches found it way right into my office," Tristan said in a row as he went through some files.

"Tristan, that's why we made a back door exist, since I can't possibly follow the main door. Anyway, you don't need to be so rude to me, you can be so nice to even a dead person and a stray dog, but when it comes to me, it's a NO". She said as she arched her brows.

"Anyways aren't you going to pick little Luna from school? It's past three already and you're still here?" Janet said while eating her apple. 

"Shit, I forgot, Diana would be so mad. Ugh it's so not my day today," Tristan said as he put on his jacket and picked up his car key.

Tristan was about to head through his back door when his phone rang, he looked at his screen, and it was a long-time friend calling. 

'Why's he calling me after five years?' Tristan asked himself inwardly while showing a slight frown on his forehead. 

"Heyyy, what happened? Your face suddenly looks like a Demon is calling when you looked at your phone screen." 

"A demon? TSK talk of the devil himself". He muttered out loud. 

"Excuse me" Tristan walked outside and entered inside the car before picking up the call. 

"What took you so long to pick up," a masculine voice said over the phone coldly. 

"I had important things doing, why did you suddenly call me after all this year's, I thought you had all the company and a good friend you needed?" Tristan said as he clenched his fist and bit his lips, trying not to sound annoyed. 

"I didn't call you to chit-chat nor settle old scores! You've become quite famous because of your good medical skills, how impressive, Tristan. However, you need to return to the mansion! Your assistant is needed at three pm sharp tomorrow!" 

"Well Mr. Aryan, I must refuse you since I have an appointment tomorrow at three pm on the dot, you may as well suggest another doctor to treat you." Tristan said. 

"Three pm you're back in the mansion," He said, cutting the call with a hiss. 

"Aryan and James, what do you both want from me now?" Tristan muttered with a frown as he stared outside the window. 

Somewhere in a dark room was a Tall figure in a tainted black suit, he had extremely long legs, a broad chest, an exceptional jaw line and silky black hair. He's had beautiful Grey eyes and strawberry like lips. He had a dragon tattoo on his neck, cross earrings on his right side of his ear and a black dragon ring. 

He held a gun in his hand as he looked at the pitiful soul in front of him. The lady was drowning in her pool of blood, bottle pieces were all over her body. Each movement triggers the bottles to pierce into her skin. 

"Young master, please pardon me, please," She said pleading helplessly, vomiting out blood and shivering in pain. "Master, please put an end to my suffering and kill me,". 

"You should have killed yourself before trying to cross my territory Emilia, you dare collide with an enemy dear. Of course, death is too easy for you." He said while grinning in satisfaction, seeing her blood flowing like a river and filling the room with its bloody scent was indeed a pleasurable moment for him.

"Show me your palm, dear," He said as he walked closer and closer to her. She couldn't run as she was bind down with chains. 

"No, Master, please pardon me," She cried out in agony, but the devil never forgets nor forgives. 

Smiling sweetly, he bent down and held her shaking palms. "Wasn't it this hand you used to target the gun at me, huh? Your right hand is indeed straight and soft, what should I do to you, Emilia?".

"Crack-Bang" He shot her palm, disabling the fingers and digging a hole inside her hands. 

His men were startled and wimped In fear. 

"How noisy, I should have placed it in silencer," He said with a slight frown, throwing the gun on the floor, he took a handkerchief and wiped his bloody hands. Taking a look around at the pieces of flesh littered around was nothing new. 

"Clean this mess up and drop her as a warning gift to the Scorpions". He instructed as he walked out of crying Emilia.
